The first-generation Ford Custom from 2013 to 2023 has been widely used for many years as a trade, service, courier and delivery van. In a vehicle where the cargo area is used every day, the projecting wheel arches are particularly exposed to contact with toolboxes, parcels and other cargo.
This set of two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers made from 3 mm ABS plastic provides additional protection for the left and right wheel arches. The plastic covers can be installed on their own or added to an existing cargo floor or interior lining.
Do these wheel arch covers fit my Ford Custom?
In short: This set is designed for the first-generation Ford Custom from 2013 to 2023. It includes two wheel arch covers for the left and right sides, made from 3 mm flexible and UV-resistant ABS plastic. A separate vehicle-specific version is available for the Ford Custom II from 2024 onwards.
Ford Custom 2013–2023 or Custom II from 2024?
The vehicle generation is crucial when choosing the correct wheel arch protection. The Ford Custom name continues with the successor model, so the wheel arch covers should not be selected on the model name alone.

Wheel arch protection for an efficiently used working cargo area
The Ford Custom combines greater manoeuvrability than a large van with enough cargo space for a wide range of commercial applications. This compact combination also means that the available space is often used intensively.
Toolboxes, transport containers, parcels and machines are frequently stored close to the vehicle sides and moved between the wheel arches during loading and unloading.
The ABS covers provide an additional protective layer over these projecting areas and help reduce direct contact between cargo and the vehicle surface.
3 mm ABS plastic for the left and right wheel arches
The two wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm ABS plastic. The material is flexible and UV-resistant.
The set includes two vehicle-specific covers – one for the left and one for the right wheel arch.
The covers provide targeted protection for these two areas. They do not replace a cargo floor or side wall lining and do not perform any load-securing function.

Particularly useful for frequently loaded and unloaded vans
Wheel arch protection is especially useful for Ford Custom vehicles where the cargo area is in regular use.
-
Trade and installation vans carrying tools and materials
-
Courier and delivery vehicles with frequently changing loads
-
Service vehicles carrying boxes and work equipment
-
Mobile workshop vans
-
Commercial vehicles with an existing cargo floor or side wall lining
If the floor and side walls are already protected, the wheel arches may be among the last exposed areas in an intensively used cargo compartment.
Wheel arch covers can also be retrofitted
The two ABS covers can be installed as an addition to existing interior lining.
An existing cargo floor therefore does not have to be removed, nor does the complete cargo area need to be rebuilt simply to add protection around the wheel arches.
If fixed shelving or other vehicle equipment is already installed, check beforehand whether there is sufficient access to the wheel arch areas for installation.
Clamping, screwing or bonding – installation to suit your vehicle
Depending on the existing cargo area conversion, the wheel arch covers can be fitted by clamping, screwing or bonding.
The most suitable method depends on the individual installation situation. With a new conversion, the wheel arch covers, cargo floor and side wall lining can be planned together. When retrofitting, first check how existing lining and equipment meet the wheel arch areas.
Installation note:
The required installation hardware is not included. Screws, adhesive or other fixings must be selected to suit the chosen installation method.
Practical tip: check the generation before choosing accessories
For the Ford Custom, the change from the 2013–2023 model to the new generation from 2024 is particularly important. Searching for accessories using an old order, an older product page or simply the vehicle name can easily lead to the wrong version.
So check the generation first:
-
2013–2023? → this product
-
From 2024? → separate wheel arch covers for the Ford Custom II
It's a very small check that can save you from a surprisingly large plastic puzzle in the back of your van later on. 😄
